CAMEL BONES OF CONTENTION A new headline from Fox News reads: "Camel bones suggest error in Bible, archaeologists say." The story then proceeds to tell us that new evidence discovered in the Middle East call into question the Biblical stories of Abraham, Joseph and Jacob because (they say) "camels weren't domesticated in Israel until centuries later." The dating of the camel bones in question is based partly on "radiocarbon" dating methods -- but are such methods truly accurate? What is the process? What are the inconsistencies? Chris also discusses the recently passed Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, during which Pope Francis declared that the denominational divisions in Christianity are a "scandal" and are contrary to the Bible. But what does Rome mean by unity?
